Baked Salmon in Dill Sauce on a Bed of Steamed Spinach


Tonight's dinner was a nice salmon filet baked in a mild dill sauce. Preparation was quick and easy and the result was impressive as well as being healthy.

Ingredients

2
filets wild salmon 4 oz. each
12 C raw spinach

Sauce
1/4 C non-fat sou
r cream
1/2 t. dill
1/2 lemon juiced

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the sauce by combining 1/4 C non-fat sour cream, about 1/2 t. dried dill, and the juice of 1/2 lemon. Set this aside in the refrigerator so the flavors can blend while rinsing and drying the salmon filets, about 4 ounces each. Wash about 12 cups of spinach and put them in a microwave safe bowl, covered.

Spray an ovenproof container with olive oil spray and spoon in enough sauce to cover the bottom. Place the salmon filets in
the container, spoon more sauce over the filets, and put the container in the oven for fifteen minutes. While the salmon is baking, microwave the spinach on high for three minutes. Placed 1/3 of the cooked spinach, about four cups raw, onto each plate and top it with a salmon filet. Sprinkled each salmon filet with paprika and serve with remaining sauce on the side.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I'm assuming having a
blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very web savvy so I'm not
100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks
